The Role of Algal Cellular Physiology on the Onset and Maintenance of a Model Cnidarian-Algal Symbiosis

Creator:

Maruyama, Shumpei

Abstract:

Coral reefs form vast ecosystems in tropical oceans that are hotspots for biodiversity and are economically valuable. The ecological success of coral reefs is made possible by the symbiotic relationship between corals and dinoflagellate algae from the family Symbiodiniaceae.
